ANANT RAJ LTD. ( FORMERLY ANANT RAJ INDUSTRIES LTD.) vs THE STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Haryana government's methodology for granting licenses for group housing development based on a First Come First Serve principle. The court found that this approach was not fair, reasonable, or transparent, leading to an unregulated competition among applicants. Consequently, the court upheld the High Court's decision to cancel the licenses granted under this policy and directed the state to establish a more transparent framework for future licensing.
